Elements | Created for a wedding held at the Chesapeake Bay Foundation on the water in Annapolis, MD. This suite features a warm fall color palette, highlighted with metallic copper details, including custom mixed calligraphy ink, and dip dyed envelopes. The day of florals were incorporated into the envelope liners and invitation backer. Full color watercolor artwork was created for the backers, while line illustrations were produced on transparent vellum envelope liners to create a softer look. The envelopes were created with unique curved flaps, reminiscent of the beach, and the metallic copper dip dye with curved calligraphy provides a look reminiscent of frothy waves crashing on the sandy shoreline. The custom illustrated venue map was printed in white ink on a rich chocolate stock to provide additional contrast throughout the suite. The couple’s crest features a simplified design of rope tied in an infinity knot, symbolizing their endless love. Curated vintage postage rounds out this suite featuring Black Eyed Susans (Maryland’s State Flower), Oriole Bird (Maryland’s State Bird), and the Maryland Statehood stamp featuring downtown Annapolis and sailboat in the harbor.
